Operation; Transporting The Mower - LawnMaster LMRM1601 Guide D'utilisation

OPERATION

USING YOUR LAWN MOWER
Please observe the following when operating your reel mower.
■ Your mower is not power-operated and requires continuous hand pushing during mowing. Use
this mower only on lawn that has been grown on a smoothly graded ground surface. This mower
is most effective on flat, even lawns. Mowing lawns with tall weeds may affect the overall mowing
result.
■ Be sure the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire, or other objects which could damage lawn
mower or engine.
■ Mow the lawn when the grass is relatively dry. Attempting to mow wet grass can result in an
uneven cut.
■ Maintain a consistent walking pace while pushing the mower in straight passes.
■ Slightly overlap each pass to even the cut and avoid leaving uncut strips.
■ Mow the lawn regularly, during its growing season. Mow more frequently than you would with a
conventional rotary lawn mower.
■ Always mow with the blade height adjusted to cut no more than 1/3 the total height of grass.
■ If the lawn height exceeds four inches, adjust the blade height to its highest position before
mowing. After mowing, readjust the blade to your preferred cutting height and mow the lawn a
second time within the next one or two days.
WARNING
The operation of any lawn mower can result in debris being thrown into the eyes, which can damage
your eyes severely. Always wear safety glasses while operating the mower, or while performing any
adjustments or repairs on it.

TRANSPORTING THE MOWER

■ During normal operation, the blade reel will turn anytime the mower's front wheels are turning.
To safely move the mower from one location to another without the blade reel turning, simply
pivot the handle over the reel and push the mower from the opposite side (Fig. 5).
Pushing the mower in this manner (transport mode) prohibits the blade reel from turning.
